I would like to help but that little no shows within 6 hours thing gets in the way! I wonder what keywords will jump out at them in the email?
Khols is a great place to get children's books, right now they have Duck Soup books and they're always $5, last promotion was Dr. Suess and before that was Curious George.
I would be happy to take an armload of books to the Birmingham concert next week if it weren't cancelled!
Ok, I'm over it now...

I have my 100-words-exactly email ready to go! But I also mentioned how I am planning as of right now to head to the show as long as the heat and my health don't rear their ugly heads. I have yet to send the email because that keeps me on the fence!
I grew up being read to by who was normally my wicked sister. I loved reading on my own once it came time, a certified book worm. I think that has a lot to do with my chosen career!

Okkkkkkkk...we're off and running!
So we ended the previous night at the Dress to Impress Deck Party where a couple of the guys made a surprise appearance....
We turned in around 3:30 or so and had to be up by 8 to get ready for our photo op and to get in line. We wanted to be towards the front so we could get it done with and have the rest of the day. The guys were a little bit late, so things didn't get started right away, but we were among the first 30 people in line so we were assigned to group 3.
MAN OH MAN! You think 5* is fast, that thing moves slow as molasses compared to this. You blink, and it's done. I know a lot of people complained about the brevity, and I admit, I thought it might be about as long as a 5*, but I can't say I was entirely surprised nor disappointed. I mean they had to get through 2,000 people in one day. It was going to have to be speedy! Plus I had had my own personal moments on stage and seeing Joey on deck, so nothing could top those experiences.
There are NO photos documenting any portion of this because we were not even allowed a wristlet. We could only have our room key in our possession...and they were dead serious. We entered the room and were told no hugs, no kisses, no autographs, nothing. I forget ALL the rules, but I specifically remember hugs, kissing, and autographs. Our group of 10 filed up. The guys were seated on 5 stools, from left to right: Joey, Jordan, Jonathan, Donnie, and Danny. Since Joey was first, he was the only one I actually got to say the word, "Hello" to and briefly shake his hand. We were supposed to file in 5 in front of the guys, 5 behind. My mother and I were in the row behind. She wanted to be next to Donnie and I wanted to be next to Jonathan. You could tell from the second we got there, the guys were just nottttt having it that morning. Again, I'm not saying I was disappointed, I'm just trying to describe the atmosphere. I think they might have been seasick. The boat was pretty rocky that morning...that coupled with a late night out imbibing...probably didn't have them feeling in tip top shape. My mom tried to say to Donnie, "Recognize the shirt?" Because I was wearing a Breakfast Club t-shirt. It was the one I had received at his launch party a week and a half prior. I'm not really sure he even looked at me (sunglasses on) but he kind of said, "yessss" and half smiled. Picture was taken, and it was over. Like I said, didn't get to say hi to anyone but Joey.
I think they actually UNDER anticipated how quickly they could move people through. Everyone seemed to generally follow the rules, and they pushed you in and out so quickly, they finished way ahead of schedule, which resulted in them pushing the start time for the B group to about an hour later.
Anyway, after the photo, we were STARVING. So we found our way to the poolside grill for some buffet breakfast. Then we wandered around a bit and went to look at some of the photos the photographers had taken of my mother and myself the night before. After that, I decided I needed some bonine myself. I wasn't seasick yet, but that rolling was starting to become a little more noticeable myself. We went back to our room and we realized just HOW tired we were. Knowing that this being the last night meant little or no sleep, we decided to take an hour long nap, then go to the pool and nap some more. Well one hours turned into 2. By the time we woke up and got our act together, we realistically had only about 45 minutes, so instead, we just got organized and packed (as much as possible anyway). Now, even though we had VIP, my mother wanted to try to get in the first row. (She has become quite the NKOTB fan during the course of this trip.) The previous night for the other group's concert, the first couple girls lined up about 3 hours prior to the start. We decided to do the same. There wasn't much else we were going to do anyway. So we ordered some room service and leisurely got ready for the concert and White Party.
By the time we got down to the VIP waiting area around 5:00-5:15, the line was already 15 people deep! (Our scheduled line up time was 8:30.) I thought we might be first, but I didn't anticipate 15. The waiting area was in a lounge, so we all were just sitting around and chatting. Then my poor poor mom....she had had a shrimp roll from room service. Well she all of a sudden said she had to go and fled the scene. At first I thought it was weird, but I thought she just forgot something in the room. She was taking an awful long time, so one of our friends held our places while I went to check on her. Turns out the shrimp made her sick.
I felt soooooooooo bad because she was REALLY looking forward to the concert. She yelled at me to go back down and she hoped she'd feel better by the time the show started at 9. I went back down and all the people we were hanging with were SO sweet. They all said we would save her a place and flag her down if she didn't arrive before we left for the theater. She actually did end up making it in time before we all walked down.
Now here is my ONLY irritation with this cruise. We were "gold" band people, meaning our assigned seating zone was row 1 or row 2. "Silver" band were designated for row 3. All of a sudden we notice a relatively long line of people with wristbands of all different colors (meaning assigned to other areas of the theater, NOT in the first few rows, some even balcony) Some of these people had won the raffle for front row previously mentioned during booking, which was fine. The OTHER people were all a bunch of people who whined and complained about something or other, i.e., the photo op was too short, etc....so to pacify them, Rose Tours just gave them all front row passes to shut them up. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pissed!
Here we are, those that paid THOUSANDS for the ability to sit in our area, and the ENTIRE front row went mostly to people that whined. Literally...not one person that was DESIGNATED to get front row (other than the 3 $5,000/person owner's suite people) got front row. We ended up in the 3rd row, the "silver" bracelet row...even after waiting 3 hours. I know you all must think I'm really greedy, but I was just really disappointed with the way it was handled. All of us "gold" band people that had been waiting thought they should have let gold & silver in first, then let the whiners in to choose after us. They all still would have ended up with better seats, but not by penalizing us who paid. My only gripe!
Not much we could do about it really. So we settled into our seats:

Shortly after everyone was settled, the show started. For the life of me, can't remember everything on the set list. I know the opening few numbers were the same as the Spring concert set list: Call it What You Want, Favorite Girl, Right Stuff, the slow medley. But it changed up a little in the middle. Like I said, can't tell you exactly what was what, but I will say there were no brand new numbers. Some pics from the show:

At one point they decided they wanted to switch it up and do "I'll Be There"
So Donnie took the drums and Jordan the keyboard

Things started off fine, but I guess Joey got started a key too high. Because all of a sudden I think Danny went to get going and it just all fell apart. Joey said, "It's ok man, I didn't know WHERE they key was going either." Then Joey told us, "Now you REALLY can't tell the B group we tried to sing that song."
Shortly after, Joey sang "5 Brothers, A Million Sisters."

Since security caught someone videoing and went through each photo in her camera...I used the opportunity to catch a couple clips!

http://travel.webshots.com/video/3051699200083770231HLVbvZ
Donnie was given a "Pimp Cup"
http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2402169240083770231tVVlWu
Then they began talking to a guy in the audience, which got amusing:
http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2951349360083770231IkjSVX
Apparently he's in an NKOTB Tribute band. So Donnie invited him up to sing the next song. He could choose between Games and something else...clearly he chose Games since I don't remember the other option.
http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2609695600083770231gyYoaQ
He actually knew all the dance moves too! When he started doing the moves Danny and Jonathan could barely keep going...they were doubled over in fits of laughter.
Then we sang Happy Birthday to Jordan:
http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2009076710083770231JLmVzi
Clearly I was his birthday wish....
Then they finished with a round of Step By Step. During Step 3, Donnie stopped, turned, pointed to me and sang, "It's just you and me." He really does know every last way to make a woman melt to a puddle. Even though he does it with 50 million people...still works. Gotta give him credit.
And off to the White Party we went! Joey showed up for a few minutes before anyone else was out:
http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2396746610083770231zSzYgD
I thought he would come out again later with the others, but nopppppe. That was it for Joey.
Then Donnie and Jonathan came out.

http://travel.webshots.com/video/3016147630083770231jtBUxJ (video)
Jonathan left, and then Jordan came out. For the rest of the night it was only Jordan and Donnie:

http://travel.webshots.com/video/3006904730083770231NfkMmJ (video)
Once Jordan was done singing along with Donnie and the rest of us, he decided to call it a night. I ran into him at the elevator on our floor:
http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2645079710083770231JIjFRj
And that brings us to the end...ALMOST....one last installment is still ahead!

Actually in Mexico's defense the problems they are having are limited to a few areas. The drug cartel issues are in the border towns. And most cases of flu come from the interior, mostly Mexico City. I'd go to Mexico tomorrow and not give it a second thought. I love Mexico and feel bad for the folks there in the tourist areas. They have been dealt a 1-2 punch by the US media. They've got a tough road ahead of them.
(wanted to add I in no way feel for the gov't of MX, just the working folk in the service industry.)
Anyway, JMO.
Thanks for clarifying that, I just have heard snippets from the media, but glad to hear it is limited.

I just got back on and wanted to say thanks for the input in our trip. I'm still undecided 
We're thinking now between Kauai and Cabo...we change our minds a lot. 
Part of me thinks we should splurge and go to Kauai. Its where we went for our honeymoon and this is a belated 10 year anniversary getaway. But I've always wanted to try Mexico and its cheaper all around. Such a tough decision, I know.
I can't believe that chick has been to 26 concerts. I feel totally normal now!

Yeah, another vote for Hawaii!
Just got home from baseball or as I've begun to call it GNATFEST. We had bug spray, dryer sheets, etc. Thankfully the spray worked for awhile, they were SO bad!!!
I'm going to tuck the kids into bed and curl up in bed and watch a movie on my laptop. Either The Holiday or Twilight. Hmm...

I don't think you're being greedy at all! You paid a ton of money for that privilege. You should have gotten what you paid for.
Then we sang Happy Birthday to Jordan:

Love the latest update, Kim. Can you believe it has been a week already since you set sail? You are not being greedy. I would be really upset if I paid for the privilege of sitting close and the nutjobs that couldn't enjoy there vacation because they were there to stalk NKOTB couldn't stop complaining.
Just stopping by quickly this morning. I have TONS to do today. It is Emma and Kaitlyn's birthday and we are having family over tonight to celebrate. It is raining (grrr) and I had hoped to grill and celebrate outside. My patio looks so pretty with all of my new flowers and I thought it would be such a nice setting for the party. Maybe it will clear off. Tomorrow we have our last soccer games of the season (as long as they don't get rescheduled... supposed to rain tomorrow, too) and then the friend birthday party. They chose to have it at our house and I am hoping to be outside for that but it is not looking good. 20 seven year olds in the house. Thank God a couple of my friends are coming to help! My sister is also here from NYC so she will help.
Also wanted to update evryone on my BFF's mom. They got her results on Wednesday and she has Multiple Myeloma which is a form of bone cancer. She is going to the Mayo clinic next week and we will know more then about the severity and treatment. Please keep Nancy in your prayers and all of Sadie's family. They are very close and have a strong faith which will help to pull them through this.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! I will check back in tomorrow night after the bday party!

Heather, I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. 
So, today is supposed to be the day I get to run and do all the last-minute fun stuff for WDW. Hit the grocery store for snacks, get some new tops that actually fit me, get cash ... and my freaking laptop dies on me last night! Plugged into the wall, all of a sudden showing no charge coming to it and a few minutes later, OUT! DANG IT!
Now I need to figure out if it is the battery or the AC adaptor, actually find one to buy today and shell out more cash. Batteries and myself are not mixing lately (remembering my car dying on me on Mother's Day). Stinks!

Heather - wow, you have a busy few days coming, eh? Party after party! Hope the weather is surprisingly good and clears up for both events!! (and soccer too!) I'll be praying for Nancy and Sadie.
Angey - sorry about your computer but hey, you've got Disney to look forward to, right? You're going to have a BLAST!!! I know I am counting down to mine!!!
I think starting soon ADR's will be done online. I wonder how that will work out!
So, I could use some prayers today for my cousin. She just got married last year and is pregnant and due on 8/1. Well, they just took her to the hospital because she's not only been having some contractions but she's also leaking fluid.
I know if her water broke they will have to deliver so we're a bit concerned. Although, my hubby was 6 weeks premature and he turned out just fine. But still...you just don't know! So please pray, she's at the hospital now.

Sending prayers your way Shelby and Heather.

More thoughts and prayers to Shelby.
It is funny. Last time we were in WDW, I lost my camera charger, so my documentation of the trip was cut short. Now, we are set to leave again and my computer is giving me problems, when I use it to dump my pics every few days. Weird, huh?
I think it's my adapter that is the problem. I'm off to Best Buy and Radio Shack to see if they can help me out.

Thanks for the prayers everyone. That is something we can never have enough of. Heard from Sadie on facebook this morning and her Mom won't be going to Mayo until June now. More waiting.
I just cut my stress level in half and made the executive decision that we are going out to eat tonight vs trying to grill in the rain. It might be more $$$ but it will be worth it to not have the rain interfering! Then we can come back to the house for cake and gifts
Angey... sorry about your computer, just what you need when you aretrying to get ready for vacation! Hope you guys have a wonderful time! can't wait to hear about it when you get back!!!
Shelby... I will say an extra prayer for your cousin. Let's hope that the labor can be held off. My high school BFF had her first baby last year in July... he wasn't due until October. It was a long fight but he is doing so well now, his only problem is that he is smaller than other babies his age. They can do so much now for pre-mature babies.
